Study Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of regular exercise on sleep quality in older adults. The study will assess changes in sleep quality resulting from a structured exercise program using objective and subjective measurement tools.
Detailed Description
The sample size of this study consists of a total of 18 (female and male) individuals selected in accordance with the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The Sociodemographic Patient Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SF-12/Short Form-12 Health Survey, Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, and 6-Minute Walk Test will be evaluated at the Kadıköy Municipality Living Center. All evaluations will be collected at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 16th week. Our online exercises will continue for 16 weeks.

Intervention: Exercises Program (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The PSQI is a 19-item self-report measure widely used in clinical and research settings that measures sleep quality and sleep-related disturbances based on self-report over a one-month period.
SF-12 / Short Form-12 Health Survey
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The SF-12 is a brief, validated health status scale derived from the SF-36 and enhanced to reproduce physical and mental component summary scores with 12 questions to reduce response burden for group comparisons.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The TUG test is described as a rapid way to quantify baseline functional mobility and fall risk in which the time it takes for the patient to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn, and sit down again is measured chronometrically.
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The 6MWT is a submaximal exercise capacity test that measures the total distance a patient walks in 6 minutes; detailed guidelines for its application, safety, evaluation, and interpretation have been published by the American Thoracic Society.

Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The mMRC is a brief, five-point self-assessment scale from 0 to 4 that rates the impact of breathlessness on daily activities and is commonly used to classify symptom severity in respiratory diseases such as COPD.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The TUG test is described as a rapid way to quantify baseline functional mobility and fall risk in which the time it takes for the patient to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn, and sit down again is measured chronometrically.
